on October 24th, 2024

on October 23rd, 2024
“For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost?” - Luke 14:28 There’s a difference between reacting and responding.

Maybe you’ve been there before—something happens, and without thinking, you fire back, say something you don’t mean, ... Read More

When those who oppose... Read More

“For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let the prophets and the diviners who are among you deceive you, and do not listen to your dreams that you dream.

For thus says the Lord: Only when Babylon’s seventy years are completed will I visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise an... Read More

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” - Jeremiah 29:11 It’s so easy to get fixated on the end goal, isn’t it?
